Listen to the pros

With the weather being so beautiful I ignored my usual running routine, which is based on a training program designed by professionals. Instead, I ran three days in a row and then my knee started hurting. You see, there's a reason the pros tell you to do cross training some days and take rest days. And there's a reason that I don't write running books. It's because I'm an idiot. Luckily I don't appear to have done any lasting damage. I cross trained for a day and then did another run and, while the knee is a little stiff, it seems to be OK. I'm sure there are people who can run every day of the week but from now on I'm going to stick with what the pros recommend. Besides, the humidity is creeping up now which doesn't inspire me to break the rules.
